Gaza, this is what happened on Friday, June 13, 2025 in the early hours of the morning in Iran, a country that is not Arab, but has always fought for the liberation of your Holy Land from the taint of colonization and betrayal. ALLAH Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala the Most Glorious has honored these Heroes of the Liberation of Baitul Maqdis with martyrdom as the best reward for all their efforts in preparing the best legacy to liberate yours. Here is exactly what happened on that very sacred day. I save this story with a hope, tomorrow, when you are completely liberated, you can read this sacred history. Right now, even though all the rightful people worldwide are fighting for you, you can't have details of what happened because you're still under attack from those despicable oppressors. You can only listen the blast from the occupied territories and watch as every day your sacred sky is filled with meteors made by Iran and the Axis of Resistance chasing, hitting, and destroying those despicable aggressors. May ALLAH Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala accept all your sacrifices, Gaza, and your Heroes. Our fallen heroes martyred on the road of Al-Quds were among the commanders in the Iranian military (IRGC, Armed Forces, Khatam Al-Anbiya), scientists, and innocent children. Yes, exactly like your people, in Iran all resisting. Never to humiliation.

BREAKING - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei:
O great nation of Iran!
At dawn today, the zionist regime opened its dirty and bloody hand in a crime in our beloved country and revealed its evil nature more than ever by hitting residential centers. The regime must expect a severe punishment.
The powerful hand of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic will not abandon it, Allah willing.
In the enemy attacks, several commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately resume their duties, Allah willing.
With this crime, the zionist regime prepared for itself a bitter and painful fate and it will definitely receive it.

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran:
Statement No. 1 of the General Staff of the Armed Forces following the attack on parts of the country:
The aggressive and reckless act of the zionist regime at dawn on Friday, 23 Khordad (13 June), in striking parts of the country, including both civilian and military areas, has led to the martyrdom and injury of a number of our dear compatriots, among them women, children, and several commanders of the Armed Forces.
The Communications Center of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, while condemning this blatant violation by the malign zionist enemy, an action that contravenes all international norms, assures the noble, martyr-nurturing, and courageous people of Islamic Iran, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief, that the response of your soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the planners, perpetrators, and supporters of this cowardly act will be crushing and cause them deep regret.

Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
The attacks of the zionist regime on Iran are a violation of Article 4, Paragraph 2, of the United Nations Charter and a clear aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Responding to this aggression is Iran's legal and legitimate right in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to defend the Iranian nation with all their might and in a manner they determine.
The dangerous and far-reaching effects and consequences of the zionist regime's aggression against our beloved homeland of Iran will be the responsibility of this regime and its supporters.
The zionist regime's aggressive actions against Iran cannot have been carried out without the coordination and permission of the United States. Accordingly, the US government, as the main supporter of this regime, will also be responsible for the dangerous effects and consequences of the zionist regime's maneuver.

Islamic Republic of Iran Army:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Free people of Iran—brothers and sisters!
The blood-thirsty, tyrannical zionist regime has begun an aerial violation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, striking several locations inside our country.
Until now we have avoided opening the path of war, but the Army, alongside the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, will not tolerate this foul child-killing aggression or the shedding of our compatriots’ pure blood. A bitter lesson awaits Netanyahu.
Our dear people must maintain calm and composure. Reject any rumors that may be spread by agents of this regime, keep away from military garrisons, and await the moment of the collective duty that will be assigned by the exalted Leader. At this time, the combat forces of the Army and the IRGC are engaged in battle in the skies.
Further results will be communicated to the Iranian nation in due course.

Iranian Ministry of Defense:
The illegitimate, criminal zionist regime once again revealed its vile, anti-human nature in the early hours of today, carrying out a cowardly attack on a residential township within the sacred territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran and committing an open act of brutality.
In this savage assault, flagrantly violating all international laws, several innocent civilians, including women and children, along with a number of Armed Forces commanders and scientists of this land, were martyred, further exposing the murderous essence of this child-killing regime.
While offering condolences to the great Iranian nation and to the esteemed families of the martyrs, the Ministry of Defense declares that, in obedience to the orders of the Commander-in-Chief and with the backing of the people, the powerful hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran stands ready to deliver a severe and exemplary punishment. The zionist regime will undoubtedly pay the full price for this crime.

🚨Major General Mohammed Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has ascended to martyrdom as a result of the IOF attacks on Iran.
Glory to the martyrs.

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The zionist regime’s nighttime aggression against our homeland; Iran, which resulted in the martyrdom of our beloved citizens, commanders, and scientists, proved that this illegitimate regime does not adhere to any international rules and laws, and like a drunken bell, it officially and brazenly engages in terror.

Starting a war with Iran is playing with the lion’s tail. Although we Iranians have never initiated any war in the past two hundred years, we have not hesitated in defending our homeland and we will not.

“Israel”’s aggression against the sacred skies of Iran and the cowardly assassination of Iranian commanders proved that this regime is inherently terrorist.

Now we, all of us in Iran, the nation, the government, and the government, can shout louder than ever that the zionists are terrorists and aggressors, and consider revenge and defense as our legitimate right, and more unified and united than ever, without any political differences, give a strong response to this child-killing and terrorist regime.

Defending this water, soil, sky, children, generals, scientists, and all citizens is the responsibility and duty of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its armed forces, and we will not back down from it one bit.

One should not speak to such a predatory regime except in the language of power. The world now understands better Iran's insistence on the right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile power.

We will avenge each and every one of our martyrs and turn the violation of Iran's national sovereignty into an unforgivable sin of the usurper Israel.

We call on the United Nations Security Council to defend its dignity and existence against the collapse of the international system, but we will not wait for these institutions. Revenge is near; closer than the jugular vein to the terrorist zionists.

This is the voice of a nation and a government that calls upon the world to bear witness that we did not start the war, but the end of this story will be written by Iran.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei via X:
הישות הציונית צריכה לצפות לעונש כבד. ידה החזקה של הכוח הצבאי של הרפובליקה האסלאמית לא תרפה ממנה.
‏הישות הפושעת תכננה לעצמה גורל מר ועתיד מלא ייסורים.
The zionist entity should expect a heavy punishment. The strong hand of the Islamic Republic's military power will not let up. The criminal entity planned for itself a bitter fate and a future full of torment.

The Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the Martyrdom of Major General Hossein Salami and a Number of His IRGC Companions:
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow [to the death], and some are [still] waiting, but they have never changed [their commitment] in the least.”
With hearts full of pain and sorrow, we extend our deepest condolences and highest congratulations to the presence of the Awaited Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), to the exalted Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei (may his shadow endure), to the noble families of the martyrs, to their comrades in the IRGC and Basij, and to all the honorable and revolutionary people of Iran, on the martyrdom of the courageous and fighter commander, Major General Hossein Salami—the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—along with a number of his companions, in the criminal and terrorist attack carried out by the zionist occupying entity at dawn on Friday, 23 Khordad 1404 (solar Hijri calendar), targeting the IRGC command headquarters while they were engaged in a sensitive mission to defend the security of the nation and its people.
There is no doubt that Martyr Salami was one of the most prominent leaders of the Islamic Revolution and a figure of the arenas of scientific, cultural, security, and military jihad. He was always present on the frontlines—with a humble spirit, strategic wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the guardianship of the jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih).
Through his well-rounded character, strategic mindset, exceptional eloquence, and deep loyalty, Martyr Salami represented a distinguished model among the revolution’s leaders. His achievements in expanding the strategic depth of the Axis of Resistance, confronting complex threats, enhancing deterrent capabilities, and articulating the message of the Revolution will remain etched in the nation’s collective memory.
His martyrdom is yet another testament to the oppression faced by the Islamic Republic, and to the inability of its hateful enemies—those official terrorists—to overcome the spiritual power and steadfast will of the warriors of truth.
Without doubt, his noble and honorable path will continue—with even greater determination—through the children of the Revolution in the IRGC, the Basij, the Armed Forces, and the people at large. The criminal zionist entity will pay a heavy price for this crime, which was committed with the knowledge and intent of the White House rulers and the terrorist American regime.
This righteous path, filled with faith and insight, which the fighter martyr devoted himself to, will be carried forward with unyielding resolve by his comrades. The crimes of Iran’s enemies will not go unanswered, and they will face a stern retaliation that they will come to regret.

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran:
Statement No. 2 of the General Staff of the Armed Forces following the attack on parts of the country
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow [to the death], and some are [still] waiting, but they have never changed [their commitment] in the least.”
O martyr-raising and revolutionary nation of Islamic Iran;
The martyrdom of the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Mohammad Bagheri (Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran), Major General Gholam Ali Rashid (Commander of the Central Headquarters of the Seal of the Prophets (PBUH)), Major General Hossein Salami (Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), and a group of dear scientists and compatriots, especially innocent women and children, in the aggressive attack of the zionist regime once again proved to the world the terrorist nature of this evil regime.
Although the loss of these relics and the lives of those who sacrificed eight years of sacred defense is difficult and heartbreaking, their comrades and colleagues will never let the flag of honor and glory that these dear ones have raised fall to the ground, and their bright path will continue with strength and determination.
The martyrs of this terrorist act had worn the robe of jihad and martyrdom for years in the path of protecting the revolution and ensuring the security of the noble Iranian nation, and now they are enjoying the company of Allah and their martyred comrades. However, avenging the unjustly-shed blood of the martyrs of this aggression is a mission that the armed forces have set on their agenda, and they will not stop until it is realized.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces, while congratulating and condoling the martyrdom of these dear ones, assures His Holiness Baqiyatullah al-Azam (a.s.), the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces (may Allah protect him), the heroic nation of Iran, and the great family of the Armed Forces, that now that the terrorist regime occupying Al-Quds has crossed all red lines, with reliance on God Almighty and the support of the zealous nation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, there are no limits left to respond to this crime, and the hand of divine vengeance will grip the brutal terrorist regime and its supporters, Allah willing.

The group expresses full solidarity with Iran and offers condolences for the martyrdom of senior figures, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, and nuclear scientists.

Hamas further emphasized that "israel" is the main enemy of the region and that confronting it is a collective, existential battle.

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine strongly condemns the "israeli" aggression on Iran, describing it as a dangerous escalation aimed at triggering open regional conflict. The PIJ expresses full solidarity with Iran, praises its resilience, and exalts the martyrdom of key Iranian figures, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami.

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns the "israeli" attack on Iran, calling it cowardly, brutal, and backed by the United States. It expresses solidarity with Iran and exalts the martyrdom of high-ranking officials, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. The Movement frames the attack as part of a broader war against the Muslim nation as "israel" and the U.S. are threatening regional and global peace.

The Ansarallah Political Bureau strongly condemns "israel's" attack on Iran and asserts Iran’s full right to respond by all possible means. Ansarallah described the entity as a nuclear-armed, aggressive force that poses a threat to the entire region, as it is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in Palestine, Lebanon, and across the Arab world. Ansarallah defended and reiterated its support of Iran’s nuclear program and praised Iran for being the only Islamic state that has steadfastly supported the Palestinian cause.

It links the aggression to international silence, U.S. support and Western complicity. They offered condolences to Iran, and pledges full solidarity and continued struggle until the zionist entity is eliminated.

Hezbollah:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hezbollah strongly condemns the brazen "israeli" aggression that targeted the Islamic Republic of Iran. This attack constitutes a dangerous escalation in the course of zionist recklessness, carried out under full American support and sponsorship. It affirms that this enemy adheres to no logic or laws and knows only the language of killing, fire, and destruction. It is increasingly engaging in reckless acts and adventures that threaten to set the entire region ablaze in service of its aggressive ambitions and to save itself from internal crises.
All the efforts made during the past period to preserve stability and security in the region have been destroyed and aborted by the enemy’s government, placing regional and international security at serious risk with potentially disastrous consequences. The peoples and states of the region must realize that if this aggression is not met with rejection, condemnation, and solidarity with Iran and its people, this criminal entity will only grow more aggressive and tyrannical, furthering the American-"israeli" projects of domination in the region, harming the interests of its peoples, and plundering their wealth.
The Islamic Republic has consistently exercised restraint and avoided being dragged into "israeli" provocations and acts of aggression. It has responded positively to all international initiatives aimed at defusing the crisis, while firmly upholding its natural right to peaceful nuclear energy as a means for the advancement, development, and welfare of its people.
The enemy has crossed every red line, thinking it can change the equations. But it will soon realize that the great Iranian people will only grow more determined to uphold their legitimate natural rights and will defend their freedom, dignity, and independence with strength.
Hezbollah affirms that this aggression could not have occurred without direct American approval, coordination, and cover—though Washington now seeks to disavow responsibility in order to avoid its consequences. Hezbollah expresses its full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran—its leadership and people—in the face of this grave assault. It affirms that such acts of aggression will not weaken Iran but will only make it stronger, more resilient in confronting dangers, and more determined to defend its sovereignty and security.
Hezbollah extends its deepest condolences to His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei (may his shadow endure), to the President of the Republic, the Iranian government, the leadership of the Revolutionary Guard, and to the dear Iranian people for the loss of the noble martyrs who ascended in this treacherous attack. We ask God to envelop them in His vast mercy. Hezbollah affirms that these pure and sacred bloods will, by God’s will, bring nothing but ruin upon this criminal entity.

Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida:
We declare our solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the brutal zionist aggression, which is primarily due to its unwavering support for the Palestinian people and its significant backing of their honorable resistance fighters. We also mourn its senior leaders and martyrs who ascended as a result of this cowardly aggression.
The zionist enemy is utterly deluded if it thinks that these treacherous strikes can undermine the resistance fronts or solidify the foundations of this fragile entity in the region. On the absolute contrary, it continues to commit successive strategic mistakes that will bring it closer to its inevitable demise, God willing.

78 martyrs and 329 wounded in the IOF aggression against Tehran, Iran.
The aggression is ongoing.

IRGC Aerospace Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh ascended to martyrdom as a result of the IOF airstrikes on Iran.
IRGC Air Defense Forces Commander and deputy of Khatim Al-Anbiya Central Command, Brigadier General Davoud Sheikhian ascended to martyrdom.

Glory to the martyrs.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a televised speech:
The Iranian armed forces will act with full force and will bring the despicable zionist entity to a state of collapse and impotence.
The entity will not escape unscathed after this crime, and it will regret its actions.

Then, the most severe punishment comes to touch those criminals, Gaza, those who invades your Sacred Land and Sanctities. Here's how the criminals found themselves on the rubbles since the first day of retaliation of Islamic Republic of Iran. The punishment that delights the hearts of the world.
